Champion Chili Makes a Satisfying Meal

My Champion Chili is a great and easy main dish.

As soon as the temperatures start dropping is the perfect time to make a pot of homemade chili, which is another main dish entree entry for Lang’s Chocolate Keystone Pantry Allulose Recipe Challenge. My Champion Chili recipe has all the wonderful healthy goodness from vegetables, and double protein from ground turkey along with kidney beans mixed in a delicious, but subtly sweetened tomato sauce and fragrant herbs and just enough heat to satisfy as well as take the chill away.

My Champion Chili Is a Healthy, Hearty Dinner Solution

I usually buy some dry kidney beans and soak them overnight before using for any recipe the next day. However, I have been known to forget to soak them. Therefore, I always keep some canned beans stocked in my pantry when I’m in the mood to cook chili.

I prefer serving chili on a bed of cooked rice. My guy, on the other hand, favors chili over some form of pasta such as elbow macaroni, noodles, or shells. Instead of cooking up both, we solved this little problem by making rice one time and then switching to serving over pasta the next.

If you have any leftovers, this Champion Chili heats up well on your stove or microwave. Another suggestion for leftovers that I like to do is to serve over my homemade pizza dough as a meat topping, complete with mozzarella cheese and a little extra spaghetti sauce. Another way to stretch it is by adding a jar of spaghetti sauce and serving over pasta when you’re in need of an easy, fast dinner.

In case that you’re unfamiliar with how to use this rare natural sweetener of allulose that is derived from fruits such as raisins, figs, and dates and its health benefits, I suggest visiting Lang’s Chocolatesand browsing through their Keystone Pantry products.

Add the diced tomatoes, paste, herbs and spices, kidney beans and continue cooking for about an hour for when using canned beans. Otherwise, if you use dry beans and were soaking, you need to cook this chili a few hours until the beans are softened.

Add the water if your mixture is a little dry. If you need water, you can always add it.

I love chili — such comfort food! I would make mine with ground turkey too. Either pasta or rice is fine. I like to add salsa, cheese, and sour cream on top of mine, maybe even some crushed tortilla chips. We buy dry beans from Dollar Tree and, yes, I soak them overnight too.

I am a big fan of chili and like looking at different recipes. Heck I like watching them make it on cooking shows. I have never had my chili over rice/pasta or anything else. I just fill a bowl and have crackers my mother has to have cornbread with her chili. I love to make a big crockpot full and freeze bags for when the mood strikes. I will have to try it the next time.
